Chapter 493 - A New Era
“Here, Fellow Cultivator Tang, these pelts are for you!”
An elderly Taoist master walked over to Tang Hao, dragging the corpses of several werewolf clan leaders.
“Thanks!” Tang Hao took them without hesitation.
Those elderly werewolves had a strong cultivation base and their pelts were treasures. It would be best if they were made into fur coats.
Was it cruel? To Tang Hao, those werewolves were evil monsters.
“Comrade Tang Hao!” General Bai and the others boarded the cruise ship. Their faces were red with excitement.
“That was such a great battle. That’ll show them how impressive Huaxia can be! I’d like to see any other coward try to do evil in Huaxia.” General Bai looked cathartic.
Taoist Master Zhen Yang smiled and said emotionally, “That was such a cathartic fight! I’d like to see anyone look down upon Huaxia from now on.”
“A new era is coming!” Another elderly Taoist master said while stroking his beard.
“Yes! After this battle, Huaxia is finally rising again.”
“A new era! That’s great!” General Bai sighed emotionally.
He turned around and started shouting. “Alright, let’s go back! I’ll treat everyone to dinner!”
“What are we having?” The people from Dragon Tiger Mountain scuttled over.
“F*ck! How about y’all go somewhere else and die?” Taoist Master Zhen Yang delivered a slap onto a heavenly master’s face.
“Curse you, Zhen Yang! How dare you hit me? I’ll kill you! Ahhh! Not the face!” The heavenly master wailed pathetically.
The people laughed when they saw that. Tang Hao laughed too.
“It’s time to go back!” He mumbled, after which he followed the other people back on the naval ship.
Someone else would be coming to clean up the battlefield on the cruise ship.
The atmosphere on the cruise ship was jovial and celebratory.
Tang Hao went inside a cabin and rested for a while.
He sat on a chair and looked at his arms.
Those arms seemed different than before. The skin was fairer and more delicate. It even shone dimly.
He looked at his body and noticed some changes too.
That was all because of his enhanced cultivation base. He was considered half a Perfected Person now, which meant that he had newly stepped into the State of Foundation Establishment. It was a big step away from the peak of the State of Qi Channeling.
With that first step, he could eventually reach the early period of the State of Foundation Establishment.
In modern times, it was extremely difficult, if not impossible, to step into the State of Foundation Establishment.
To break through, he had already used the soul of the flying serpent and all his pills. It would be next to impossible to take the next step!
He took out his phone but realized that there was no coverage.
‘That’s right, we’re still in the middle of the sea.’
It was already late in the afternoon when he got a signal again. He called Sis Xiangyi and chatted for a long time.
It was night time when they returned to Provincial City. Everyone went to New Magical Kitchen.
“This one, that one… Ah, just give me ten portions of everything! Give me ten crates of that liquor too. I can get reimbursed anyway,” General Bai said generously.
“Here, drink up!”
The people ate and drank to their fill. The scene was extremely lively.
All the Taoist masters were intoxicated, while the heavenly masters from Dragon Tiger Mountain had been knocked out by the alcohol. They lay there unmoving like dead pigs.
Mu Xintong also drank quite a lot of liquor. Her face was red, which gave her usually ice-cold expression some seductive charm.
As for General Bai, he was the first one to be knocked out.
“Sigh, these people!”
Tang Hao felt his head ache when he looked at those people sprawled on the floor.
He did not have that much sobriety medicine!
“Whatever. I’ll just send them all to a hotel!” He woke a few of them up, called some cabs, and transported them all to a nearby hotel.
“I’ll be leaving!”
Mu Xintong said coolly and walked out of the restaurant.
The sudden appearance of a beautiful young woman in a military uniform caused a commotion outside.
After sending the last person away, the manager presented Tang Hao with the bill.
“Please look at this, Chairman Tang…”
Tang Hao rolled his eyes when he saw that.
‘The entire meal cost two hundred and fifty thousand yuan!’
He thought about it and realized that it was a fair amount for so many diners.
“Whatever. I’ll cover it!” Tang Hao took out his credit card.
He looked at his wristwatch and saw that it was already past ten o’clock. It was time to go home.
“I’ll be going!” He told the restaurant staff.
“Safe journey home, Chairman Tang!” The manager and the waitstaff bowed at Tang Hao as he left.
The city lights were still bright and the streets were packed with people. It was a tranquil and harmonious scene.
“That’s nice!” Tang Hao smiled.
Why would he and the Taoist masters put their lives on the line, if not to keep this peace?
After the operation, the city would be safer than ever. There might still be crimes, but the police would be enough to handle that.
Soon, the entire Huaxia would be like this.
Tang Hao did not drive a car. He continued walking toward the First Public Hospital first to check on the girls.
He was relieved to know that they were recovering. After that, he went home.
…
The shocking news of Huaxia defeating the combined forces of thirteen elite clans had spread throughout the world.
All the major powers were shocked.
Before the battle, no one had expected that Huaxia would emerge victoriously. They were waiting for the news of Huaxia’s defeat, and they would celebrate.
However, the news that they eventually received was the total opposite of their expectations.
Huaxia won convincingly. They did not suffer many casualties. Meanwhile, the thirteen elite clans with more than ten thousand troops suffered terrible losses. All the thirteen clan leaders had lost their lives too.
Shock! Confusion!
That was the immediate reaction of many people.
A lot of them thought that it was a joke.
After all, that was the thirteen elite clans they were talking about! Even if Huaxia won, it should have been a pyrrhic victory.
However, no one doubted the news once more details came in.
A Perfected Person appeared in Huaxia!
All the major forces around the world were stunned by the news. Their shock soon turned to fear.
“Let’s leave as quickly as possible! Pull out all our people from Huaxia. Get them on the next flight available! If they don’t come back fast, don’t blame anyone if they die. The clan will not take revenge for them!”
“The thirteen elite clans are all wiped out. How should I take revenge for your life if you die? I’ll be grateful if you don’t bring the Huaxia forces here.”
Many forces around the world pulled their people out of Huaxia that day.
They realized that Huaxia was once again a formidable force, and not the powerless nation it had been.
